23.02.2023 • day 6 of my language learning challenge:

-> are there any free online sources you use to learn languages? please share<3

for german, i use der-artikel.de to find articles. i use bab.la as an online dictionary, it also offers verb conjugations. deutscheseite.de is also helpful, you can vocab lists and etc. and i don’t have more to offer… that’s why i asked you this question… to steal from you… 😔😔

i am sick today but i didn’t want to spend my evening doing nothing, so i decided to study some vocabulary. i wanted to learn reading related words and i had fun tehehe :] i was sneezing most of the time but i now know what kriminalroman means :’)<3

Schenke groß oder klein,

Aber immer gediegen.

Wenn die Bedachten

Die Gaben wiegen,

Sei dein Gewissen rein.

Schenke herzlich und frei.

Schenke dabei

Was in dir wohnt

An Meinung, Geschmack und Humor,

So daß die eigene Freude zuvor

Dich reichlich belohnt.

Schenke mit Geist ohne List.

Sei eingedenk,

Daß dein Geschenk

Du selber bist.

Giving

Give big or small,

But always with dignity.

When the presentees

appraise the gifts,

your conscience shall be clear.

Give heartily and freely.

Give thereby

What lives within you

In terms of opinion, taste and humor,

So that your own joy

Rewards you richly beforehand.

Give mindfully without cunning.

Remember

That your gift

Is yourself.

Ich wünsche Dir einen Menschen, vor dem Du Dich nicht verstecken mußt und der vor Dir nicht Verstecken spielt, wo Du sein kannst, wie Du bist, mit Freuden und mit Fehlern, mit Lachen und mit Deinen Tränen.

Ich wünsche Dir einen Menschen, dem Du die Wahrheit sagen kannst, Deine eigene Wahrheit, und der diese Deine Wahrheit liebt und mit Dir daran glaubt, daß Eure Wahrheit Euch frei machen wird.

Ich wünsche Dir einen Menschen, vor dem Du Dich nicht dauernd verteidigen mußt, der Dich nicht in ein fixes Bild pressen will, der Dir Veränderungen zugesteht und Dich sein läßt, wie Du bist.

Ich wünsche Dir einen Menschen, der Dir vergeben und der vergessen kann, der sich entschuldigen kann, wenn er einen Fehler gemacht hat. Der nach einem Streit Dir die Hand zur Versöhnung wieder reicht und den ersten Schritt zu Dir macht.

Ich wünsche Dir einen Menschen, der Dich wirklich liebt: nicht obwohl und nicht deshalb, nicht trotzdem und auch nicht weil, sondern ohne wenn und aber, einfach Dich wie Du bist.

Ich wünsche Dir einen Menschen, der das Leben liebt und Dich, weil Du lebst und solange Du lebst.

Did you know that reading leads to higher levels of self-esteem, empathy, creativity, community spirit, happiness, knowledge of cultural diversity, and so much more?

Did you know that reading has a very substantial impact on not just vocab, but also grammar?

And did you know that reading in a foreign language directly and measurably improves your native language?

PLEASE read in the language you are learning!! You will skyrocket your language skills and also it’s just fun to read!!
